Benefits of technology

This patent text describes methods and systems for restoring data in a computer system that is running poorly. The methods involve storing user data to a local hard disk drive and a separate internal data storage device, as well as copying the data to a remote storage location in response to system performance issues. The technical effects of this patent include improving system performance by allowing for faster data processing and easier recovery of data in case of failure.

Problems solved by technology

Additionally, the method may include copying the sub-set of the user data from the internal data storage device to a remote data storage device in response to a degradation of system performance of the user interface device.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating one embodiment of a system 100 for restoring data in a degraded computer system. In an embodiment, the system 100 includes one or more user interface devices 102a-b. The user interface devices 102a-b may be computing devices, such as desktop computers, laptop computers, tablet computing devices, mobile computing devices, etc. In other embodiments, the user interface devices may include or be coupled to servers, networking devices, security appliances, or the like. In still other embodiments, the user interfaces may be of diverse types. For example, a first user interface device 102a may be a desktop workstation, and a second user interface device 102b may be a mobile computing device or a tablet computing device. In certain embodiments, aspects of the first user interface device 102a may be tied or related to aspects of the second user interface device 102b. For example, a selection of a user's files, accounts, configuration, applications, etc....

Abstract

Methods and systems for restoring data in a degraded computer system are presented. In an embodiment, a method includes storing user data to a hard disk drive that is local to a user interface device. The method may also include storing a sub-set of the user data to a internal data storage device that is local to the user interface device. Additionally, the method may include copying the sub-set of the user data from the internal data storage device to a remote data storage device in response to a degradation of system performance of the user interface device. In an embodiment, the data may be retrieved from the internal data storage by an external system, even when the user interface device is in a degraded or unresponsive state.

Description

FIELD[0001]This disclosure relates generally to computer systems, and more specifically, to systems and methods for restoring data in a degraded computer system.BACKGROUND[0002]There are multiple points of failure that can render a computer nonfunctional. For example, the data storage device, such as a hard disk drive, may be inaccessible. The storage device may be intact, but logically inaccessible because of driver errors, interface errors, or malware infection. Alternatively, the storage device may be damaged and physically inaccessible. Alternatively, other issues may cause the computer system to malfunction, including power supply faults, memory faults, system bus faults, etc. In cases where the computer is nonfunctional, it may be desirable—even urgently so—to recover and preserve user data.[0003]Prior methods for restoring the computer system include repairing damaged components, removing hard drives and directly accessing data on the drive from other systems, and making peri...
